Try mailing "wakefiel@inf.ethz.ch", his name is Ronald Wakefield and he
is the person
at the ETH that distributes MacMETH. I don't know how close the above
price is to
the one that they charge. The newsest version (2.6 I think) will work on
all types
of Mac's with or without harddisk. BTW, the telephone number is + 41 1
256 3531,
were + is the international access code (011  I think). Remember they are about
+6 hours ahead of EST.
